Screen is black on my Samsung LCD TV

Screen went black last night. Have a feeling I may have hit something on the remote to cause this. Can't get the picture back. Still have sound. Have PiP capability through my digital box (PVR) using the remote for the digital box. Am able to view a dvd on the screen when I tried that, so it doesn't seem to be a busted lamp or somthing like that...

No, had checked the input already and it wasn't that. Figured it out though - it was the digital box causing the black picture, as the PiP was working and that is analog. I just needed to reboot the digital box.

Sounds like the video board when bad. I would say the TV went defective. Use the 90 day warranty to exchange for a new one.
Always use warranty at this point because the newer TV coming out in these days have very lame warranty.
